Try real templates from real startups. These are the workflows that Headspace, Mixpanel, Buffer, and many more successful companies use to build amazing products and operate day-to-day.
1. AngelList's meetings
AngelList’s product team uses Notion to streamline its weekly updates. Members of the product sub-teams submit short, written updates before each meeting. Participants read through updates relevant to them or their teams and make comments for the first few minutes of the meeting — then, the rest of the time is designated for conversation. What used to be many meetings is now consolidated into a single standup.
2. Headspace's design system
Headspace's design system helps their team store and stay up to date on shared design resources. Use their template to maintain a single source of truth for your team, stay consistent, and reduce duplicative work.
3. Buffer's OKRs
With employees in 16 time zones, transparency is core to Buffer’s culture and operations, guiding how people work and collaborate. Take a page from their Notion workspace and make your company, team, and individual goals accessible to everyone.
